Barrieland

In The Beginning…

In the land of Salisbarrie was a wicked queen, Barrie Parsons Tilghman. The only way to stay in her good graces was to do her bidding or SHE WOULD GET EVEN otherwise it was off with your head (Stu Leer, Coulbourne Dykes, Bob Eaton etc, etc, etc). The list of those beheaded during her 10 year reign of terror continued to grow until one day along comes this man from the Bronx. Being a come here she had no fear of him, after all this is her turf, she and she alone rules the land. Anyone familiar with her knows you don’t buck up against her or she’d run you out of business, your home, your marriage ultimately out of the state, ala Brenda Cox. Now, this fellow from the Bronx didn’t know the Queen for what she is or that she will go to whatever lengths necessary to rid herself of anyone that becomes a nuisance. The man from the Bronx is befriended by a local attorney that likes to blog in his pass time. His attorney friend blogs about the injustices within Barrieland, exposes the Queen and her minions for what they are and what they do within her Queendom. The man from the Bronx being a typical New Yorker, doesn’t take kindly to lies or innuendo and relays this via emails to the Queen of Salisbarrie. Ultimately, after he learns the Queen would rather climb a 100 foot pine tree to tell a lie than stand on the ground and tell the truth, the man from the Bronx says what any red blooded New Yorker does, he calls a spade a spade. Actually, he told her she was a waste of good sperm. The Queen couldn’t take this lying down or keep it to herself. What does she do? The Queen calls a press conference, with all of the media venues available to her, in the land of Barrie. Queen aka Mayor Barrie Parsons Tilghman, in her deluded mind, visualizing herself as the all powerful Queen of Salisbarrie, takes the stage, in front of TV cameras, whining about those “mean spirited blogs”. After all, who would have known that anyone told her she was a waste of good sperm or of the blogs had she not publicized it on local television? I don’t know if it was Queen Barrie or the medias attempt to oblige the Queen, but naming the blogs that were in the forefront at the time Justice for All?, owned by local attorney, Charles Jannace and Duvafiles owned by retired attorney Bill Duvall was the dumbest thing she could do. A handful of peasants in the land of Barrie knew of these blogs and very few knew the man from the Bronx, UNTIL THEN. Queen Barrie, in her effort to control Joe Albero, formerly known as the man from the Bronx, CREATED Joe Albero, The Blogger and present day owner of Sbynews.com.

In The Middle…

Did any of us know who Joe Albero was before Queen Barrie made her announcement on television about those mean spirited blogs? Did anyone know his opinion on anything before Charles Jannace published them on his blog “Justice For All?”? Did anyone really care who or what the opinion of Joe Albero was? He was one man, that didn’t even own a blog, voicing his opinion on the blog of another as many have done before and after the day Queen Barrie announced existence of these blogs The problem with Joe Albero is, he is ungrateful. He doesn’t bow down to his creator, the all powerful beast of Salisbarrie so, she has to teach him a lesson. More proof Joe Albero, The Blogger is a typical New Yorker, he doesn’t back down when threatened. Queen Barrie tells him to stop being mean to her or she’ll sue him for defamation. Did Joe Albero listen to her? NO! He continued to speak the truth and provide visual and audio aids for all of those reading his blog. His creator, the Queen, had to follow through with her threats and filed a civil suit against him. She knew she couldn’t do this alone being a public official under the political microscope so she allegedly encouraged her chief of police to do the same. Being the subservient being that he is, the Chief of Police, in the land of Barrie does exactly as he is told to do, he files a civil suit. Not only does he file suit he uses the same law firm Queen Barrie retains. They file their bogus suits for a measly $9,999.00. Why would anyone sue anyone, with as many assets as the man from the Bronx is known to have, for a mere $9,999.00? That won’t even cover the attorney fees for the law firm they retained. I’ll tell you why. It keeps them out of circuit court and strips away the right of Joe Albero, man from the Bronx, to a trial by jury. Queen Barrie and her Chief of Police know they cannot be confronted in a court of law judged by their peers, the Queen might have an emotional breakdown having 12 people find against her on public record. During discovery the attorneys for the Queen and her loyal subject Chiefy, demand the sources of information from Joe Albero, man from the Bronx. If the truth ever comes out, finding out who Joe was getting his information from was the whole purpose of filing the civil suit. Joe in his best Bronx dialect tells them straight out, "faggedaboudit, youse ain’t gettin' nuttin' offa me." After all, there is that pesky right afforded him called the FIRST AMENDMENT. There is also this tiny flaw in Joe's character, he gave his word he'd never reveal his sources and he kept his word. Imagine that. Time goes by and they get nuttin from Joe Albero. Finally, his court date is upon him, with the Chief of Police. According to the Tilghman Times in Salisbarrie the attorney representing Alan Webster aka Chiefy calls the attorney representing Joe Albero, the night before they are to appear in court, requesting a deal before appearing in court. Whatever deal was struck, we’ll never know, however what we do know is there was NO MONETARY SETTLEMENT. Chiefy walked away empty handed, with nothing, nada, zip, zilch. Since they didn't get the sources he and his Queen so desparately desired everyone still has a job. Except the meter man which has nothing to do with this. Now we wait for Queen Barrie to meet Joe Albero, man from the Bronx, in court. That date has yet to be set, as far as I know.

Lets back up a bit and see just how devious the Queen of Salisbarrie thinks she is. They can’t shut the man up that she created by publicizing his mean spirit. She can’t shut him up by threatening and filing civil suits against him. Next step bring in the dogs. It has been alleged and rumored all over the community that local attorneys brought a recent real estate transaction to the Queens attention. The Queen thinks she has finally found a way to shut this man up and shut him down. She allegedly dispatches her chief of police off to the comptroller’s office with this new found evidence. Phone calls are made locally to the state office of the comptroller. Day trips to Annapolis are on the unofficial agenda. The Queen just knows she has finally toppled the man from the Bronx. Papers are filed, grand jury is convened, indictment is handed down, and an arrest is made. Queen Barrie is so distracted waiting for the news of Joe's arrest she can't focus on the game of the day. Surely this will shut him up. WRONG. Joe Albero, man from the Bronx, hides from nothing. As soon as his beautiful bride posts bail, brings him home, he blogs about the situation, exposing it for what it really is…VINDICTIVENESS on the part of the Queen and her subservient minions. Those that have had their toes stepped on by Joe Albero wait in great anticipation of September 16, knowing this is the end of Sbynews.com and Joe Albero. What they didn’t know, even though they were being led around by the ring in their nose, was their lawyer buddies were WRONG.

In The End…

To quote the Tilghman Times, “Dove said, the Maryland State Comptroller’s Office originally pursued the case against Albero because he is obligated to pay taxes as a Delaware resident buying property in Maryland. But what was overlooked is that since Albero reinvested that land in Maryland three weeks after purchase, HE WAS ENTITLED TO A TAX DEFERMENT and OWED NO MONEY. The Comptrollers Office then became less interested”. In other words, the special prosecutor for the State of Maryland said the Tax Free Exchange aka 1031 that Joe filed was PERFECTLY LEGAL. So now that it is on record he evaded no taxes what is left? The perjury charge is all they have. Knowing this entire waste of taxpayer time and money was politically motivated, they can't just throw this out of court, they had to do something so the prosecutor offers an Alford Plea, Judge Kathleen Becksted gives Joe a PBJ, court costs and fine. Judge Beckstead also let it be known in her 8 years on the bench this is the third, thats right, 3rd, PBJ she has handed down.

The way I see it, Joe Albero is guilty of one thing in this charade. He is guilty of trusting Don Richardson. I could see if Joe didn’t know Don Richardson or have any previous professional dealings with him. This is not the case. Don Richardson has handled other real estate transactions for Joe in the past. Joe is no stranger to him nor is his address. On one page of the documents, it states Joe's address as Maryland, a page or two after that his address is listed as Delmar, Delaware. Joe goes to settlement, is handed paperwork by an attorney he knows, trusts and has retained in the past. Attorney asks Joe to sign here, here, here and anywhere else his signature was required. Why not? I’d do it, wouldn't you? After all, this same attorney has handled real estate transactions for him before, what’s not to trust? If Joe has learned nothing else from this I hope he has learned to TRUST NO ONE.

Now that everyone knows the Queen of Salisbarrie has once again, allegedly wasted the time and resources of yet another law enforcement agency (remember her lies to the FBI sending them to the home of Bill Duvall?) maybe she will reflect on all of her failures of the past 10 years and pack her bags and leave office quietly. Not going to happen but hey, I can fantasize, can't I? She might also do well to concern herself with being investigated by various departments within the government. Rumor has it the FBI has a great interest in her dealings or misdealings. All of the lies she can tell, all of the truths she can twist, can not win in a court of law, no matter how many Bibles she holds in her lap. EVERYBODY,throughout the state, judges included, are well aware of her game. Once again, many taxpayer dollars are misused in an effort to exact revenge against anyone that would dare to expose the truths of the Tilghman administration.

Congratulations Joe and THANK YOU and your family, for all you do, have done and endure.
